Just Between Us [ BL ]

Who?

EPISODE 1
"Wow...4 hours already? Well, it's time for me to end this stream, see you guys in the next stream!"

Silas' POV
"Finally..." Silas grunts.

He removes his headphones and stretches his aching body. Today is just like any other day, streaming for hours. Silas has been live streaming for years, his popularity skyrocketed last year and he has been working even more lately. He has millions of followers and is considered one of the most best streamers today. He's famous for his skills in gaming and most importantly, his attractive face.

His phone suddenly buzzed and he picked it up to see who it was. The screen shows "josh" and he sighs. Josh is Silas' bestfriend, also a streamer. They met through some streamers gathering and clicked along the way. Josh is 3 years older than Silas, who is 21, but it never really bothered them.

"Yo! Another great stream! What are you doing?" Josh shouts as soon as Silas answered his call.

"Nothing really" Silas replied as he collapsed on his bed, "probably gonna sleep"

"Great! Wanna hangout right now then?" Josh replied.

Silas loves hanging out with him, mainly because he pays for everything, but he doesn't let anyone bother him as soon as he finished streaming.

Silas hesitated, "Nah, you can come later but not right now."

there was no response. Silas only hears muffled grunts and he wondered if Josh heard what he said.

"Well...that's too-" Josh paused, "hah...that's too bad then because im right infront of your apartment."

Silas froze

"are you serious? I'm not letting you in."

As soon as Silas said that, loud knocks
and pleads followed. Silas sighs and opened the door as he had no choice but to open. Josh continued to pester him for the following 20 minutes while Silas ignores him.

"Come on...talk to me Sil" Josh pleaded.

Silas gave in and they surprisingly talked longer than Silas intended. They talked about their streams, channels, life, but mostly about their love life.

"Oh my gosh. You remember Jennifer? turns out she was actually just using me for my money! Gosh... I seriously can't find real love anymore" Josh dramatically places a hand over his chest.

Silas rolled his eyes, "Dude, this is like what, the third relationship u had in a span of a month? I told you this over and over again just wait for a girl that truly loves you."

Josh looks at Silas while pretending to wipe away his nonexistent tears, "I'm gonna die aloneeee."

"Well enough of talking about my messy love life, how about you? you definitely found someone right?? Do you need me to set you up another blind date??" Josh teased.

Ji-hoon doesn't say anything.

It's not like Ji-hoon is unlikeable or he's not good-looking enough. A lot of people actually swoon over his dark curly hair, his captivating smile, his good taste of fashion, and his eyes that makes people fall in love in first sight. It's not rare for him to get asked out every now and then, but he says that he's too "busy" for a relationship.

"Forget it, romance is hopeless when it comes to you anyway" Josh sneered as Ji-hoon stares at him annoyed, "Also, did you see the announcement? Honolive announced a huge collab dinner party for tomorrow last night! Do you think we're invited?!"

Ji-hoon sighed, "Josh , they told us about that collab a month ago, did you not see the group chat that they created for the collab?"

Josh looks speechless

"whaa...? No one told me anything! Actually, how could YOU not tell me anything?! I thought we're suppose to have each-other's back!" Josh complained

"how was I suppose to know? You're the person I least expected to not know about this." Ji-hoon argued back

"okayy...it is my fault but can you check who's on the list?? I really don't wanna see him" Josh muttered

...!

Ji-hoon curled his lip in disgust after understanding who Josh was talking about

Ji-hoon hands Josh his phone, "You can go check, I need to finish my homework"

Josh took his phone and began scrolling through the list and released a sigh of relief

"Thank goodness, I was about to just not come if he was there. I can't believe he even has the audacity to show his face to everybody after what he did to you! I swear im gonna beat him up and punch his-"

Josh continued to complain as he scrolled down through the list again

On the other hand, Ji-hoon did not hear anything he said. He was too immersed in his work and did not want to get reminded on all the shitty things he went through just because of that good-for-nothing

"Oh, the new streamer Haneul is in this list!"

Ji-hoon suddenly blurts out,

"who?"

...

the whole room was filled with silence

Josh laughed, "Haneul, the new streamer? you seriously dunno? she has been gaining a lot of attention lately for her gaming skills and makeup tips. Oh, and definitely her looks too"

Ji-hoon responded with "oh" and goes back to finishing his work

Josh announced, "Well, Whatever! im going back home, you should sleep right now or you'll be late to ur classes. Also, don't forget about the dinner party okay! See you tomorrow, and don't forget to turn in your project!"

"as if I would forget" Ji-hoon scoffed, "bye"

Josh left his apartment and it was finally quiet. Ji-hoon was tired and he planned to sleep.

He got ready to sleep and finally laid down on his bed. He waited and waited for him to fall asleep as he listened to his sleeping playlist.

another sleepless night goes by.
